The aim of this series is to focus on the scientific production of significant authors whose works are outstanding contributions to the development of the psychoanalytic field and to set out relevant ideas and themes, generated during the history of psychoanalysis, that deserve to be known and discussed by present psychoanalysts. The relationship between psychoanalytic ideas and their applica- tions has to be put forward from the perspective of theory, clinical practice, technique, and research so as to maintain their validity for contemporary psychoanalysis. The Publication Committee’s objective is to share these ideas with the psychoanalytic community and with professionals in other related disciplines, in order to expand their knowledge and generate a productive interchange between the text and the reader. Freud and Culture, authored by Eric Smadja (a well-known French psychoanalyst with strong and extensive interest in anthropology), is an original volume that deeply explores the path Freud went along while thinking—throughout his whole life—about culture and society ix
